Directions

1. Cook your quinoa according to package directions.Once the quinoa has absorbed all the water (this shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes), put it on a plate and let it cool completely.
2. Next, sauté your diced onion with the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat until it’s soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Set aside and let cool completely.
3. Bring a pot of water to boil with a steam tray over top. Cook your broccoli in tray, covered, until tender, then let cool as well. Once the broccoli has cooled completely, dice into small pieces.
4. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together, leaving the egg until the end. Mix well so you have a smooth, wet mixture that will allow you to make patties that will stick together.
5. Heat some olive oil in a pan, and make your patties using about 1/4 cup of the mixture.
6. Cook each patty for about 7-8 minutes on each side on medium heat. You want the patty to develop a crust, but not to burn, so watch them carefully. Let cool for a couple of minutes before eating.
